Frisco RoughRiders News Release


AMARILLO, Texas - The Frisco RoughRiders could not overcome an early 7-0 deficit in a 7-4 loss to the Amarillo Sod Poodles from HODGETOWN on Tuesday night. Trey Hair homered and doubled and Kellen Strahm reached three times to pace the Frisco offense.

Amarillo (25-27) jumped out in front of the RoughRiders (27-25) in the second inning when Andy Yerzy hammered a grand slam against Frisco starter Jack Leiter (2-5). Leiter ceded seven runs, all earned, in the defeat while striking out five and walking four.

Entering the game, Leiter had allowed one home run all season, but he gave up his second of the game to Drew Stankiewicz, a two-run shot, in the bottom of the fourth, springboarding the lead to 6-0.

The Sod Poodles tacked on with a sacrifice fly from Nick Dalesandro in the bottom of the fifth to make it 7-0. All seven runs were driven in by the bottom three men in the Amarillo order.

Frisco started their comeback attempt in the top of the seventh when Jonathan Ornelas drove Strahm home on an RBI fielder's choice to cut the deficit to 7-1.

Hair then rammed a solo shot, his seventh of the year, in the eighth and Jax Biggers later added an RBI single in the frame, shortening the score to 7-3. Sandro Fabian doubled in a run in the ninth, but Josh Stowers struck out to end the game with two runners aboard.

Out of the Riders bullpen, Tim Brennan was brilliant, throwing three shutout innings, allowing just one baserunner on a double, while striking out three.

Blake Walston (1-2) earned his first Double-A win with six shutout innings in his start. It was first quality start of his Double-A career.

The Riders and Sod Poodles meet again for the second game of the series at 7:05 p.m. on Wednesday, June 8th from HODGETOWN. LHP Cole Ragans (4-3, 3.20) goes for the RoughRiders against RHP Slade Cecconi (2-2, 5.10).

Frisco returns to Riders Field on Tuesday, June 14th, to begin a six-game series against the Midland RockHounds. For tickets and more information about the Frisco RoughRiders, visit RidersBaseball.com or call 972.731.9200.
